John over at The Wrist Watch Review got his hands on one of the new Fossil Atari Asteroids watches. These things look like a lot of fun, especially if you used to be an Atari 2600 junkie, like myself. The watch isn't playable, unfortunately, but it is animated, which means the asteroids (blobs) and the ship (triangle) do actually move. The Fossil Atari Asteroids watch runs $125, and is available on Fossil's site. If these types of watches appeal to you, don't wait because this is a limited e..

In the 80's, where I went to elementary school, the more Swatches you owned, and the more you wore simultaneously, the cooler you were. I wasn't very cool because I only had one, but the one I had was, and still is, an undisputed Swatch classic: the Jelly Fish. I don't remember what happened to my Jelly Fish, but I always loved that watch, and I've often wished that I'd kept it. In fact, about a month ago, while in a particularly nostalgic mood, I decided to see if I could find a used Jel..

I always say that you should pick the right watch for the job. And if the job at hand is running or speeding walking, the Timex OVA (Optimal Viewing Angle) looks like it could be the right watch.

But if you're looking for a comfortable, simple, and inexpensive watch to wear on your long runs or walks, then the Timex OVA might be on..

I was in New York for a conference last week, and I ran into a girl wearing a big, dorky (in a cool way), very intriguing watch which turned out to be a Seiko AirPro. I'd never seen one before, and when she told me she'd bought it in Japan, my first thought was that it was a GSM mobile phone watch that had somehow slipped passed my Japanese wrist tech nology radar. But instead of being a speaker or a microphone, the big contraption below the face is actually a pump which can be used to infl..

Although sometimes the search for a watch can be just as much fun as actually buying it, there's also something to be said for getting exactly what you want, when you want it, and not paying for anything you don't need. If you're the type who knows exactly what he wants and is accustomed to getting it, you might consider buying a custom watch from 121TIME. What is 121TIME all about? 121TIME allows customers to customize their own Swiss-made watches using their online Design Studio. In a li..
